DIY Tech Hacks iOS 26 adds a new app to your iPhone. Here's how to use it. You're not imagining it--there is a new app on your iPhone. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Apple's big iOS 26 software update for 2025 has now reached millions of iPhones, and brought with it a bunch of new features and an updated visual interface.

Amazon has acquired Bee, a relatively new AI company that debuted an always-listening wearable earlier this year. Bee cofounder Maria de Lourdes Zollo shared the news via LinkedIn. We covered Bee AI at CES 2025--it was one of many new wearables that promised to listen to everything around you. It didn't save audio recordings, but it used the power of third-party and in-house large language models to transcribe words and create a journal of sorts, offering insights into your day, crafting takeaways, actionable tasks, and summaries of conversations. Despite being one of the first on the scene with its Alexa voice assistant, Amazon has been trailing behind the likes of OpenAI and Google's Gemini in the AI space, only recently debuting the upgraded version of Alexa, powered by LLMs.

Adobe has launched a brand new Photoshop app for iPhones, which it's also releasing for Android later this year. While there's already a Photoshop Express for mobile, the company says the new app was "designed from the ground up" with more features and has an easy-to-use mobile interface. The app, which is free to download and use, comes with Photoshop's core imaging and design tools. Users can make selections, layers and masks in the app to combine or blend images. They can also replace parts of an image with the Tap Select tool, remove elements from a photo with the Spot Healing Brush and add new elements by using its generative AI tools, such as Generative Fill and Generative Expand.

The story of the infamous Humane Ai Pin is coming to an end. This week, the company announced that HP--known for its computers and printers that always seem to need a refill--will acquire several assets from Humane in a 116 million deal expected to close at the end of the month. HP will get more than 300 patents and patent applications, a few Humane employees--including founders Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno--and Humane's Cosmos operating system. Late in 2024, Humane looked to license this operating system so that third parties could inject the AI voice assistant into other products, like cars. Humane became Silicon Valley's "next big thing" in late 2023 when it unveiled its AI wearable, equipped with a ChatGPT-powered assistant and a laser-projected display, that promised to replace your smartphone.

The days of getting your driving licence out to prove your age could soon be a thing of the past. The UK government has confirmed that a digital version is being launched this year. A new app will be unveiled this summer, which will include a'wallet' to store digital versions of official documents. This will begin with a veteran's card, followed by a pilot of driving licences. The wallet will make use of security features already built into modern smartphones – such as facial recognition – for protection.

Today Yahoo is debuting a revamped version of its news app. This new Yahoo News app, which is available as a free download now, is powered by the underlying code of the well received yet short-lived app Artifact. And, of course, the new app is infused with artificial intelligence capabilities to surface the news articles that might interest you most. Artifact was a news reader app that launched in 2023 and was helmed by Instagram cofounders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. It made heavy use of AI, employing algorithms to process user behavior and serve readers highly personalized content based on which news stories they engaged with.

More than a decade of dating apps has shown the process can be excruciating. A new app is trying to make dating less exhausting by using artificial intelligence to help people skip the earliest, often cringey stages of chatting with a new match. On Volar, people create dating profiles by messaging with a chatbot instead of filling out a profile. They answer questions about what they do for work or fun and what they're looking for in a partner, including preferences about age, gender, and personal qualities. The app then spins up a chatbot that tries to mimic not only a person's interests but also their conversational style.

It's good to have friends. They come to your birthday party, offer a shoulder to cry on when things are hard and spend precious corporate resources developing apps for your nascent virtual reality platform despite little direct return. It can be tempting to believe that a pile of cash worth 30bn, and a single product line that brings in more than 200bn a year, is an acceptable substitute. But Apple is learning that money can't buy you everything. Last week, pre-orders opened for the company's Vision Pro headset, the 3,500 "spatial computing" platform CEO Tim Cook has positioned as the successor to the Mac and iPhone and the launch of the third major era in Apple's history.

Natalie Nasatka, who says her Apple Watch saved her life, joined'Fox & Friends' to discuss the incident after the near-fatal poisoning. As Apple brings the Apple Vision Pro to market, its first major product category in nine years, the absence of key streaming apps and unconventional design choices cast shadows over its debut. Apple Inc.'s upcoming mixed-reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro, is poised to make waves. It lets you see and interact with virtual worlds using artificial intelligence, voice and gesture control, plus spatial audio. The world's leading video and music streaming services, including Google's YouTube, Spotify and Netflix, are noticeably absent from the device's lineup of supported applications.

There's an endless number of apps that claim to help with weight loss. But one now claims to be able to tell you exactly how many calories are in your food -- just by taking a picture of what you're eating. Healthify prompts you to take a picture of your meals. Using artificial intelligence (AI), it can recognise food on your plate, as well as how much you have, to generate a nutritional breakdown. A new version of the app, which will be rolled out in the UK in the coming days, includes the feature called Snap 2.0.
